Suddenly, the UMPC to be the trend throughout the world. Asus EeePC started with a 700 series with a Celeron-powered. Other producers soon followed with a fast and responsive. HP managed to catch some UMPC market with the HP 2133 or better known as the Mininote. Presence of the Atom processor for UMPCs create competition in the UMPC class become more bitter. MSI Wind successfully Notebook comes with it as the first UMPC Atom-based 1.6 GHz proseso. Meanwhile, Acer immediately followed a month later with the Acer Aspire One.
Comparison test: the latest UMPC 4
In this mini-test comparison of CHIP to reconcile the four most recent UMPC market anticipated. Producers who send their products were Asus, MSI, Acer, and HP. Here is a description of the four tested UMPC.
Asus EeePC 901
UMPC Asus EeePC is not a "classic". Series 901 is driven Atom 1.6 GHz processor. In addition, the screen is bigger too. EeePC 901 with 8.9-inch screen (previously 7 inches). One thing that this UMPC is the excess use of batteries with large capacity (6600 mAh).
Storage facilities Asus EeePC 901 is still a SSD (Solid State Disk). This time its size has reached 20 GB (16 GB + 4 GB). As a means of communication, this UMPC is equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Operating System used in the products we receive is Linux.
HP 2133 Mininote
This UMPC is the prettiest of the four products are present in front of CHIP. Finnishing this UMPC can truly paired with upper-class notebook. In addition, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB hard drive, and extra large-size keyboard into its main mainstay.
In contrast to other UMPCs, HP 2133 processors (C7-M) and chipsets made by VIA. Options OS also makes it look different. HP chose the Windows Vista Basic. A very brave choice, given the ability of processors that tend to be limited.
MSI Wind U100 Notebook
The first UMPC with Atom processor is performed with a fairly standard equipment. 1 GB RAM, 80 GB hard drive, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 3 cell battery is a specification that seems normal compared to two on the UMPC. From the appearance of any side, the MSI Wind Notebook is not seen as a luxury notebook.
MSI seems to concentrate on things that are more essential. This UMPC screen is the largest among the four products were present (10.2 inches). The keyboard is also quite large used and only very slightly compared adrift HP keyboard 2133. Meanwhile, the MSI Wind Notebook with Windows XP Home to its OS.
Acer Aspire One
UMPC has been awaited by many people. Acer's success in the notebook market that made many wonder what kind of future UMPC Acer product? Acer Aspire One has a fairly standard specification than other UMPCs, but with a very attractive price, 4.2 million rupiah.
Wi-Fi, RAM 1 GB, and 8.9-inch screen is the normal specification, is not it? 8 GB SSD used as a storage facility making it the smallest UMPC with the storage in this test. However, performance remains good and do not reflect the cheaper price.
Testing: difficulty
In this test, CHIP uses Sysmark 2007, Mobilemark 2007, and Batteryeater. Testing is more focused on endurance test battery. Therefore, a small notebook should indeed have the ability to survive long enough.
Mobilemark testing Sysmark 2007 and 2007 can only be surpassed by two UMPCs: MSI Wind notebook and Acer Aspire One. CHIP was able to record the length of the test with a 2133 HP Mobilemark 2007 by recording the time stamp before the HP 2133 is totally exhausted. Akan tetapi, Mobilemark tidak berhasil mencatat log-nya sebelum HP 2133 kehabisan daya. Meanwhile, the Asus EeePC 901 is unable to complete these two benchmark programs.
Sysmark show the same results. Only the MSI Wind and Acer Aspire One is able to run smoothly. This is quite strange, considering Sysmark is Mobilemark and Bapco product which is a consortium of the largest IT producer.
Batteryeater is a simpler program and can be run by four UMPC. The result is in accordance with the estimates. Asus ranks first because of the use of battery capacity is very large. Meanwhile, MSI, Acer, and HP 2133 followed sequentially.
No-Tip CHIP Choice Value or that can be given in this comparison test. Because there is no benchmark is good enough to compare these four UMPC.
After the test ends, there are two UMPC that appears quite balanced and interesting: MSI Wind notebook and Acer Aspire One. Acer looks good because the price is attractive. Because on paper there is no absolute comparison score, can only be pinned CHIP HOT awards Product of The Month to the MSI Wind for performance, stability, and comfort penggunaannya.Lihat Table 4 Comparison of Current UMPC
